You always have to weigh quality vs. price, how much labor to change, etc.. I generally use the best parts I can buy but if the price difference is ridiculous, (and it sometimes is), I might use an inferior part on my own car if it seems ok in quality.
It's important to understand what brand names and terms like, "OEM" mean. If a company once made door lock buttons for the 1986 Porsche 924S, they can call themselves a "Porsche OEM supplier" forever while selling clutch kits made out of pot metal in Khakistan. There is now even a global parts company selling Chinese crap that calls themselves, "OEM." I schit you not. That is their brand name and it's all over parts catalogues, (probably including Pelican), confusing unsophisticated shoppers.
